A bit of a stretch, but there's also: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. (NewYork bison [that] NewYork bison bully [also] bully

  This rides entirely on your local vernacular having a verb "buffalo" which means "to bully". I'm not sure how widespread that is but I sure never heard it before reading an explanation of this sentence.

    Didn't make sense to this Brit; 'buffalo' definitely not in UK vernacular (at least not mine)

      Well, the European bison never came to Britain, so you never had to suffer their buffaloing... ;)

    It's in mine. Maybe not common usage, but it's there. Source: From the western US.

      I grew up in Iowa/Minnesota, and buffalo is (was) used there. But is it a regionalism or anachronism? To me, “to buffalo” canotes a combination of verbal bullying and deception more than physical bullying.

    Merriam-Webster has the verb "to buffalo" as going back to 1891, with no notion of it being specific to any particular locale. The OED says it's "North American slang," while Google's dictionary calls it "informal". I've certainly heard it in conversation on the east and west coasts of the U.S. (albeit very occasionally).

  I believe you can also change that to be: Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
